In Scott McKenzie’s famous song about this famous city, he tells visitors they’re “gonna meet some gentle people” in San Francisco. Apparently John McAfee doesn’t believe him － and if he’d written the song, he probably would’ve sang something like, “If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to pack a few glocks in your suitcase”
In case you’re wondering, yes, we’re talking about
that John McAfee. He’s the same John McAfee who lives
this life and is going to
do this starting tomorrow. And if you breeze through a few of those stories, you will come to find out that John McAfee doesn’t give a fuck, is still filthy rich, probably lost his marbles years ago despite still being quite brilliant, and prefers the company of firearms to blondes.
And when he’s going to San Francisco, he doesn’t mess around:
Tweeted this morning (he also pinned the tweet, showing he means business), presumably at an airport awaiting takeoff to SFO, McAfee captioned the photo thusly: “Heading to d10e in San Francisco. Bitcoin techies are dangerous folks. Can't be too safe.”
Hahaha, that John McAfee! He’s such a card, that one. Bringing guns on an airplane, to a tech conference, in San Francisco. Surely you jest. (Don’t forget
which John McAfee we’re talking about.)
For those who don’t know, d10e takes place tomorrow and Wednesday. This is the fifth time it’s happened, and the conference is meant to “showcase the latest in fintech and disruptive, decentralizing technology,” like bitcoin, according to a press release. Sounds pretty boring.
So, perhaps to liven it up a bit, organizers went the extra mile. The conference will be streamed in virtual reality, which makes no sense to us, but oh well. And they got a brand name (
literally!) in McAfee to speak, or shoot bullets at people. Or maybe in the air. We don’t know, they don’t know, only McAfee knows. Be warned.
